Duffy, GOP should support middle-class tax cuts

EDITOR: I am writing in support of President Barack Obama's call to extend the middle-class tax cuts now. Letting them expire would be bad for the economy and would hurt families that are already struggling to make ends meet. U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy and the House Republicans shouldn't hold middle-class tax cuts hostage in an attempt to extend the tax cuts for the rich.

It's time for the rich to pay their fair share. The voters have spoken, and we rejected Mitt Romney. We rejected more tax breaks for the rich. Duffy should work in a bipartisan manner to do what is right and extend middle-class tax cuts and do away with cuts for the top 2 percent.

EDITOR: I agree with the president that Congress should extend tax cuts for the middle class now. I'm worried that my family will have to pay more in taxes because U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy and others want to give the rich a tax cut, too. President Barack Obama won a clear victory and he has said all along that he won't extend the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent.

Letting the middle-class tax cuts expire would be bad for the economy and would hurt families that are already struggling to make ends meet. Instead of playing a game of chicken with our tax rates and waiting to see which side will blink first before Jan. 1, Duffy and House Republicans should follow the U.S. Senate's lead and extend the middle class tax cuts today.

EDITOR: I was glad to hear the President call on Congress to extend the middle class tax cuts now. It would be a shame if tax cuts for my family and neighbors were allowed to expire just because U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy held out for a deal that cuts taxes for the richest Americans.

Extending the middle-class tax cuts is one thing that everyone agrees on. The U.S. Senate has already passed a bill; we need Duffy and House Republicans to do the same thing. Duffy should take action to extend the middle-class tax cuts right away.
